-<p>DEAP (Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms in Python) is a novel 
-evolutionary computation framework for rapid prototyping and testing of 
-ideas. Its design departs from most other existing frameworks in that it 
-seeks to make algorithms explicit and data structures transparent, as 
-opposed to the more common black box type of frameworks. It also 
-incorporates easy parallelism where users need not concern themselves with 
-gory implementation details like synchronization and load balancing, only 
-functional decomposition.</p>
-<p>The five founding hypotheses of DEAP are:</p>
-<ol class="arabic simple">
-<li>The user knows best. Users should be able to understand the internal 
-mechanisms of the framework so that they can extend them easily to better 
-suit their specific needs.</li>
-<li>User needs in terms of algorithms and operators are so vast that it would 
-be unrealistic to think of implementing them all in a single framework. 
-However, it should be possible to build basic tools and generic mechanisms 
-that enable easy user implementation of most any EA variant.</li>
-<li>Speedy prototyping of ideas is often more precious than speedy execution 
-of programs. Moreover, code compactness and clarity is also very precious.</li>
-<li>Even though interpreted, Python is fast enough to execute EAs. Whenever 
-execution time becomes critical, compute intensive components can always 
-be recoded in C. Many efficient numerical libraries are already available 
-through Python APIs.</li>
-<li>Easy parallelism can alleviate slow execution.</li>
-</ol>
-<p>And these hypotheses lead to the following objectives:</p>
-<dl class="docutils">
-<dt><strong>Rapid prototyping</strong></dt>
-<dd>Provide an environment allowing users to quickly implement their own 
-algorithms without compromise.</dd>
-<dt><strong>Parallelization made easy</strong></dt>
-<dd>Allow for straightforward parallelization; users should not be forced to 
-specify more than the granularity level of their functional decomposition.</dd>
-<dt><strong>Preach by examples</strong></dt>
-<dd>Although the aim of the framework is not to provide ready made solutions, 
-it should nevertheless come with a substantial set of real-world examples 
-to guide the apprenticeship of users.</dd>
